Overview:
You are an athlete. Yes, you. Even if you don't always feel like one. Even if you're not as fit as you'd like. Being an athlete is part of your identity and who you are. It influences your priorities, eating behaviors, sleeping choices, and even your relationships and career decisions. Athlete, coach, parent, and journalist Pam Moore joins Coach Adam Pulford to delve into the power of athlete identity and how leaning into it can improve all aspects of your life and performance.

Topics Covered In This Episode:

  • Defining athlete identity
  • Occupational therapy insights on athlete identity
  • How athlete identity changes with life transitions (kids, jobs, marriage, etc.)
  • Maintaining athlete identity when life gets busy
  • Adapting athlete identity with advancing age
  • How shame affects athlete identity
  • How self compassion improves longevity in sport/training

A regular contributor to The Washington Post, her work has also appeared in Time, The Guardian, and Runner’s World, Bicycling Magazine, and for well-known brands like Peloton.
